Murder at Vanmoor Village - (Ruth Morgan Mystery) by Peter Jay Black (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

After escaping a stressful life, the last thing former police officer-turned-food consultant Ruth Morgan expects is for her beloved motorhome to take an unplanned dip into a river. Now stranded with her grandson, Greg, in a quaint British village, she hopes for a peaceful recovery. However, their stay takes a mysterious turn when a landlady tumbles to her death and an artist vanishes.

Ruth's sleuthing instincts kick in, but discovering the artist's car reveals a chilling twist: the body behind the wheel is a stranger. With the local sergeant blocking her every move, and a killer hiding among the eccentric villagers, Ruth must rely on her detective skills to uncover the truth... before it's buried for good.

Tension in Vanmoor thickens like clotted cream, death lurks behind every painted smile, and as the stakes rise faster than the bistro's pastries, can Ruth unravel the mystery before it's too late-or has she bitten off more than she can chew?

A series of light-hearted and absorbing whodunnits with a fun amateur sleuth. For fans of modern British mysteries, cozy settings, and female detectives.
